Geely takes a bold design leap with the Galaxy E8, introducing the "Ripple of Light · Rhythmic" grille, noted as the world's first mass-produced integral luminous front face. Boasting 158 luminous windows forming a matrix, the grille utilizes patented micro-hole laser engraving technology, creating dynamic light effects such as welcoming gestures, flowing water, rhythmic jumps, and a musical light show. The rhythmic luminous emblem composed of six squares also contributes to welcoming functions.
